1.1 ,This specification2 covers seamless austenitic steel pipe intended for high-temperature service. Among the grades covered are H grades and nitrogen grades that are specifically intended for high-temperature service.
Note 1: ,This specification was originally developed for use for piping in the central stations of electric-power generating thermal plants. However, its use is not restricted to such applications and it may be used in other applications for which the attributes of the materials, as defined by this specification, are appropriate.
